Oh, Woe

I am not typing this from my usual computer. My usual, beloved computer now sits at the University’s IT center in an attempt to fix it without wiping the hard drive back to factory settings. It is a difficult time. It’s been almost a week since my computer began its downward spiral into oblivion.

A week in which I haven’t been able to write for NaNo.

A week in which I can’t check my email on a regular basis.

A week of terror.

Thankfully, I have a roommate who is kind enough to let me use her computer. Though, it is a Mac.

 

National Novel Writing Month

If you don’t hear from me all too frequently this month, it’s because I’m writing my NaNo novel. I have to dedicate a lot of time to this, school work, and sleeping.

My novel this year is called Tales from the Pony Express and I’m already woefully behind. So this is all I have to say on the matter for now.

 

In Which, An End

Whew! Another year of National Novel Writing Month over!

Just like the past few years, I’ve some how managed to drag myself across the 50,000 word finish line. And I still have plenty of plot to spare, so it could go on even longer! But I’m going to take a few weeks break from my NaNo novel and get final exams out of the way first. And I’ve only got about two weeks left of school until final exams are over! I just happen to have two papers due before then too.

The first paper is for Honors and is due Monday. The second paper is for Genetics and is due next Thursday.

I’ve got a lot of writing to do this weekend.

 

In Which, NaNoWriMo!!

Today’s the second day of National Novel Writing Month! I’m pretty much right on track with where I need to be. I smartened up from last year and I’m only writing one novel. It’s much easier. I wrote over two thousand words just yesterday.

I won’t say too much on my plot for my novel. I’ll just say one word…

Werewolves

 

In Which, There is Admittance

I know, I know.
I’ve totally failed at this whole blog writing thing.
Oops!

But, anywho. Last Sunday night, I dragged myself across an amazing finish line. The finish line for NaNoWriMo 2008. I just barely won. Only 21 words over the 50000 word goal. Had I not been trying to write two stories simultaneously, at first, I probably would have done a lot better. But it still was fun. Even if I did end up giving up on one of those stories around half way through the month.

This is something I’m proud of, though. I made it through my first NaNo as a college student. If I can do that, I don’t see why I can’t write any papers that I want to, when ever I want to.

This is the ultimate win.

 

In Which, A Beginning

NaNowriMo starts today! Of course, I’ve barely written anything because I have to read The Dao De Jing by Monday…. And I jut started today.

Ooops!

Happy Writing, everyone!
